I had a feeling this day would come. All the junk srk members was putting into the custom stick thread. There was more chit chat then custom stick pics. O well hope this thread is more and better then the old

360 TE, dual modded with cthulu and imp.
sanwa buttons and jlf.
arthong full panel plexi (not in the best condition, don't let your stick be in the back seat of your friend's car on a bumpy road.. scratched plexi and side.. white thing. )

Decided to finally post mine, although it is pretty plain but it is just in time for marvel
Prehacked PS1 DS PCB from Gdlkgame.com
Case from QCFGaming.com
Happ Parts from Ponyboy
Wiring Done by Myself (which is why im not showing a picture of it)
I use Converters so I can play on PC, GC, and Xbox360

This is my new 360 TE stick. There's nothing particularly special about it, but it has sentimental value.

This is my FightStick.
There are many like it, but this one is MINE.

Sorry, I had to. I've actually grown to love the TE as it comes from the box. I find very few custom TEs with artwork that looks as though it belongs on the stick, even if the artwork itself is beautiful.

The case is still a Work in Progress still needs the innards wired up, but I guess the attention whore in me really wanted to be on the first page of this thread. Ironic to get a metal case only to make it look wood. Aluminum case by NHTRAN328.

plans: red meshball
black arrow dustwasher

wow, that ended up coming out really nice man. red/black color scheme is sick. I got a couple red meshballs w/ no plans in sight, so PM me if you have any trouble finding one and wanna work something out.

Custom art for my SE. I was looking for something simple, like the Viewlix templates I've seen, but with my own spin. Came out clean and concise, just like I intended. You can see that with much use and no plexi, the art is starting to wear on the bottom right. Time for some new art then!

And the much more epic Laughing Man art mod for my HRAP 2. I posted this stick before when I had just modded the buttons and balltop. Now it's a nod to Ghost in the Shell: SAC in case you're not quite sure of the source material. I also learned that the Laughing Man quote is actually the beginning of a quote from the novel Catcher in the Rye. So the text running along the bottom of the stick finishes the quote. I'll have to read the book now too

The Laughing Man relief in the above detail shot isn't perfect, but it came out pretty nice overall. Both sticks' art attached with FedEx/Kinkos lami-label.Thanks to driph for his excellent SE art mod tutorial for eliminating any small questions I had, and to Jon Van Dalen's blog for providing an HRAP template and nice walkthrough.

I swear to Jebus, this megaman was in my dream last night. It wasn't lanky like this one, more stumpy like those Mighty Muggs. Not to mention he was the character I was using in whatever game I was playing. And this is my first time seeing that pic Cruh-eepy

Great stick, tho!

Also, props to Osirin for the Gits Laughing Man, and rtdzign for the wood grain. Remids me of the old table top games. Good times good times.

Spent this weeked building my second stick, wasn't overly happy with the first so wanted to start from scratch using the existing components.

Stick is made from a light oak with a light matte varnish, Sanwa JLF and OBSF buttons and a headphone jack extender cable. Base is covered with felt, art is Udon.

To say I'm pleased is an understatement, I'm a computer geek and woodworking isn't exactly part of my skillset! I re-used most of the control panel from my previous stick with a new piece of Acrylic (cut inc holes by the company who supplied it, I recommend this!)

New stick was about 7mm shallower than the previous, 55mm deep which is about as shallow as you can go with an unmodded JLF. The place that supplied the oak cut it to size for me as I don't have the tools to give a nice edge (previous stick I cut myself and had gaps)

Issues I had, Acrylic was a mm or so too big which was a pain in the ass to trim down with sandpaper. Control panel needed filing down, FP button fouled on the corner block, guide button fouled on the control panel so lots of trimming with a scalpel. Ditched individual ground wires in place of a daisy-chain one, much neater. Still need to find something to cover the exposed screw heads on the base (hence the tape!)

Everything is pretty damn snug inside, I was so shocked when I plugged it all back in and everything worked, I was sure I'd damage the pcb somehow. I've gained much respect for anyone who builds their own custom stick, my blood, sweat and tears went into this build and I'm painfully aware how difficult building a stick from scratch is.

just finished this thing up today, again nowhere near the level of a lot of you guys here, but hey it does the job and it plays well. thanks lizard licks for the parts and support, as well as every one here in this thread props to "Tuna Fish Riot" for the link, and big ups to Toodles for the AXIS adapter and the help.

:wow:Thats cool as hell, where are you going to put that? Whats the setup???

"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

I could tell what it was for by the PS logo and sixaxis board he put in it. My question is where is he going to put it, what is his setup going to be like???

yea the mrs isn't quite loving it, as it stands it just sits in front of the tv while not in use, then i pull it away from the tv or seat it on our coffee table when i want to use it. the size was the key thing i know the wife wants to kill me but having it that big and weigh a bit heavy keeps it from moving all over the place. feels really stable.

@ ibeatu "set up seems to be wireless for ps3 and that stick looks very nice how long it take you to make 028?"

sorry i dunno how to multi quote, but the box took about two days after working hours off and on with a help from my uncle who had a table saw. the wiring and art was about a day. with the AXIS adapter it was dirt easy. sorta like hooking up a stereo.

There is a button down on the right of each post that says multiquote just press it for each one.

My wife would kill me if I made some shit like that. See I knew there was a good story out of that. So she thinks it an eye sore that big ass box right there in the living room. Looks cool as hell though. What I tell my wife is video games are my first love and she is just going to have to deal with it...

"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

Nice work...I like the final art you choose...I would recommend covering up the 4 buttons on the top (start, clear, turbo, select) and the 2 gray sanwas.

For example...dont cut out the rectangle, just cover them up, then drill two holes in the back of your stick and put those two gray sanwas in as start and select...so the art work would not need cut outs for the top 4 and the two gray ones...

this would require some rewiring doe, but nothing difficult....and a drill..
also you dont need clear and turbo functions

if you like the 8 buttons, then just use the spares you replaced for the red ones...

Aw that looks awesome. You left one too many layers on though, you actually have the turbo section from both the A and B layouts on. Still looks good, and im a LITTLE pissed that somebody got one printed out before me lol. Still waiting on my plexi and art from Arthong.
